Following yesterday's post on truck stamps Martin P's mate Pete Connock has kindly supplied these Canadian examples from the early 1990s to Biglorryblog---I'm no philatelist but when they put the complete set togrther on a special envelope isn't this what they call a 'first-day cover?

Either way Martin says: "Brian, you' recognise the White Streamliner in Labatt's livery and the Hayes logger is the well known Hayes HDX sold to McMillan Bloedel in 1975. It was the last Hayes logger to be built and has been driven ever since by our good friend Steve Drybrough on Vancouver Island." And thanks to Pete for thinking of BLB--all contributions gratefully received! And why hasn't the Royal Mail isued any truck stamps..or has it? Click through for one more...

I can vaguely remember a series issued by R.M. in abbout 1985 which showed very stylised versions of the Commer 1500 minibus and van on two stamps but I don't think that there were any more.
